AUGUST LENDLE, OF FOREST HILLS, NEW YORK, ASSIGNOR TO KUTTROFF PICKHARDT & COMPANY, INC., OF NEW YORK, N. Y., A CORPORATION OF NEW YORK.

PAPER MADE FROM LANELLA FIBER.

No Drawing.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, AUGUST LENDLE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Forest Hills, in the county of Queens and State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Papers Made from Lanella Fiber, of which the following is a specification.

My invention consists of a new process of manufacturing paper and comprises the use of a new basic material in the manufacture of paper.

Paper made by my process is of a woolly velour texture and appearance and is particularly adapted for use as a highly finished wall paper and is adaptable also for covering boxes etc. Heretofore in order to obtain the woolly velour effect in paper it has been necessary to sprinkle the paper with wool flock which process is very laborious and very expensive.

The invention consists in using as the essential ground work of the paper a substance commercially known as lanella fiber.

The lanella fiber is a vegetable fiber and. is now being used in the manufacture of many articles which require a fibrous substance as a component part thereof. If ground in heaters such as are commonly used 111 paper mills, it can be cut up so as to make it practlcal for use in the manufacture of papers. It may be used by itself alone or in connection with other fibers, such as ground wood, sulphite, sawdust, rag, jute, etc.

The following are suitable examples of the process, but my invention is not limited thereto.

E wample J.

A lanella fiber is put in a beater and then colored with suitable dyestuffs at ordinary or raised temperature and then Application filed August 28, 1924. Serial No. 734,742.

beaten for a sufficient time to make the fiber flow on a paper machine. The resulting paper has a distinct woolly effect entirely different from any paper heretofore known.

E wample Q.

Sawdust is colored with suitable dyestuffs then mixed with lanella fiber previously beaten and dyed as set forth in example 1. The resulting paper shows a distinct woolly velour effect and appearance, not known heretofore.

Example 3.

Sawdust is colored with suitable dyestuffs and mixed with undyed lanella fiber, but previously sufficiently beaten.

E wample 4. Lanella fiber is put in a heater and then colored with suitable dyestuffs, then beaten AUGUST LENDLE. Witnesses:
